Developmental editing is a crucial step in the professional editing process and should be completed before line and/or copy editing. This is where we cut the cra—filler (because your words are never crap), flesh out the important details you may have skimped on, and make sure your story doesn't have plot bunnies running amok.
We will do a deep dive into the story structure, pacing, character development, external plot, story impact, inconsistencies, and overall cohesiveness. Did you hit the mark you were aiming for? Did you maybe go overboard and become repetitive? Answer all the important questions? Dig all the right holes and then fill them in properly? Did you inflict the emotional damage or provide the levity you were hoping for? Is your story a rom-com or does it merely have humor? Does it warrant that "dark romance" label you gave it? Let's find out!
Process: We will leave in-line comments in your Microsoft Word document and provide a detailed editorial letter with our analysis.
Follow-up: Up to three targeted post-edit re-reads with feedback. As well as open communication via email (or a phone call if needed) to address additional questions.
Cost: $0.009/word
**If you feel your book needs a full re-read post rewrites, this can be booked for an additional fee**
